Steer a course to Tahiti and the Society Islands this summer aboard the ultra modern and sleek 45.7m (150’9) motor yacht VANTAGE. From doing nothing on Tahiti’s beautiful beaches to immersing yourself in Polynesian culture, this tropical paradise is a must.

Nowhere on earth does ‘tropical’ quite like the islands of French Polynesia, with Tahiti and her accompanying Society Islands at the very heart of these cruising grounds. Nothing can top their jagged mountains dripping with rainforest, no coral reef to match the underwater magic of their lagoons, nowhere to equal the vibrancy of their red sunsets, clear waters and emerald-green trees, and even the cultural richness of their native ceremonies cannot be found elsewhere in the world.

Currently cruising Tahiti’s turquoise waters is Vantage, the unique 45.7m (150’9) motor yacht from Palmer Johnson. Featuring a streamlined profile designed by the award-winning Italian yacht designers Nuvolari Lenard, Vantage is one of the most eye-catching yachts currently available on the charter market. She accommodates 12 guests in five ensuite cabins – including a large master suite, two double staterooms and two twin staterooms – each impeccably laid out, continuing her über-stylish feel. Two deck levels provide fantastic exterior spaces for entertaining guests. Furthermore, a generous Jacuzzi is located on her partly covered top deck, where you will also find a barbecue, full bar and comfortable sunpads offering optimum comfort for guests. Her bathing platform and multiple sunbathing areas all call for endless lounging whereas a multitude of toys and an unparalleled crew with a spectacular ‘can do’ attitude will charm guests into a charter steeped in limitless luxury.

As a short-range yacht, Vantage cruises in tandem with the Pacific Provider – a fun-packed yacht that not only serves to refuel Vantage but also carries endless toys. One of the most impressive toys aboard Pacific Provider is a submarine; perfect for exploring the colourful underwater world the South Pacific normally manages to keep secret. Also stored aboard are numerous tenders and jet-skis that will give you direct access to Tahiti’s beautiful shores. Once on dry land you will be able to enjoy breathtaking beaches, discover more about the area’s rich history and culture, browse the local pearl shops, or simply lap up the peacefulness that comes with being in one of the remotest parts of the world.

Vantage and Pacific Provider are available to charter in the South Pacific this summer at a weekly rate starting from US$242,500. For more information on chartering in the South Pacific, or for further itinerary ideas, please contact your nearest Camper & Nicholsons charter broker.
